"A Few Good Men"--It's the final court scene where the military lawyer played by Tom Cruise (can't remember the character's name at the moment) is trying to draw the arrogant general into admitting that he ordered a Code Red (a sort of vigilante justice within a unit) that was officially not allowed by the military; Tom Cruise yells at him: "I want the truth!", and then the general yells back "You can't handle the truth!", and then proceeds to make the admission.
Good movie :)

A Few Good Men
Jessep: You want answers?
Kaffee (Tom Cruise): I think I'm entitled to them.
Jessep: You want answers?
Kaffee: I want the truth!
Jessep: You can't handle the truth! Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives...You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall.
We use words like honor, code, loyalty...we use these words as the backbone to a life spent defending something. You use 'em as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it! I'd rather you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to!
Kaffee: Did you order the code red?
Jessep: (quietly) I did the job you sent me to do.
Kaffee: Did you order the code red?
Jessep: You're goddamn right I did!!

A Few Good Men, is probably the movie your thinking of, Col. Jessep said it. many movies since then have used that line

Jack Nicholson plays Col. Nathan R. Jessep and when he says this great line he is being cross examined on the witness stand by Tom Cruise.
Hope this helps! :)
